      Good defensive plays were made by Alexa Ostrander who went to her right to field a grounder and fired to Alex DeStephano at first who scooped the ball out of the dirt to end the 2nd and save a run; by Rachel Sorensen who raced all the way from left to catch a sinking fly ball in shallow center to end the 3rd and save two runs; by Celine Woo who charged a bunt and fired to Haley Dusek covering first to end the 5th; by Sarah Sorensen who came in to make a nice running catch in right to end the 6th; and by Alexa Ostrander who fielded a grounder with runners on third and second and threw the batter out at first to end the 7th. 

      Courtney Schwan started and again went the distance for the win.  She struck out 6 and walked none.  This was her tenth win of the season.
